DAVEY Torrium2 Pressure Systems Installation Guide

The Torrium2 offers the option of using one or both outlet
options. Use the horizontal outlet for priming the pump or removing
the inbuilt Torrium check valve. Use the vertical outlet for
fitting a pressure tank or accessing the check valve.

Choosing a Site:

Select a site with a firm base close to the water source with
proper power supply. Ensure a reliable source of clean water is
always connected to the pressure system.

Housing your Davey Pressure System:

Protect the pressure system by housing it in a waterproof,
frost-free pump house with adequate ventilation. Mount the pump
horizontally on a firm base for drainage to avoid damage from
leaks. Do not mount the pump vertically.

Power Connection:

Connect the power lead to the designated supply on the pump
label. Avoid using long extension leads to prevent voltage drop and
poor pump performance.

FAQ:

Q: How do I know if the pump has run out of water or
overheated?

A: The Torrium2 fitted to the pump has status indicator lights
on its front panel that will indicate such issues when connected to
an electrical supply.

Installation and Operating Instructions
NOTE: Prior to installation remove the inlet and outlet pipe transport plugs & associated seals from the suction and/or discharge ports.
WARNING: The Torrium2 controller, pump and associated pipework operate under pressure. Under no circumstances should the Torrium2 controller, pump or associated pipework be disassembled unless the internal pressure of the unit has been relieved. Failure to observe this warning will expose persons to the possibility of personal injury and may also result in damage to the pump, pipework or other property. WARNING: Failure to follow these instructions and comply with all applicable codes may cause serious bodily injury and/or property damage.
Please pass these instructions on to the operator of this equipment.

Prior to using this pump you must ensure that: · The pump is installed in a safe and dry environment · The pump enclosure has adequate drainage in the event of leakage · Any transport plugs are removed · The pipe-work is correctly sealed and supported · The pump is primed correctly · The power supply is correctly connected · All steps have been taken for safe operation Appropriate details for all of these items are contained in the following Installation and Operating Instructions. Read these in their entirety before switching on this pump. If you are uncertain as to any of these Installation and Operating Instructions please contact your Davey dealer or the appropriate Davey office as listed on the back of this document. Congratulations on your purchase of a high quality, Australian built Davey pressure system. All components have been designed and manufactured to give trouble free, reliable operation. Your new pressure system incorporates `Torrium2′, electronic flow controller a Davey designed unit that enables the use of a highly efficient pump design and offers the following benefits: 1. Enables the pump to deliver a constant flow of water particularly at low flow rates
reducing the inconvenience of pressure variation in showers etc. 2. Provides automatic “cut-out” protection should the pump run out of water or overheat*,
should the pump fail to start due to low voltage or a blockage in the pump. 3. Provides an easy to understand visual representation of the system status. 4. Has adaptive pressure cut-in which allows the pump to start at approximately 80% of
the maximum pressure at last shut-down. This allows the controller to accommodate varying inlet pressures and pump performance. 5. Automatic retry functions in the event of a critical system fault. 6. Easy visual guide to the status of the inbuilt surge arrestor. 7. Choice of both vertical and horizontal outlets. * Motor overload / overheat protection included. Motor has its own overload / overheat protection. Before installing your new pump, please read all instructions carefully as failures caused by incorrect installation or operation are not covered by the guarantee. Your Davey pressure system is designed to handle clean water. The system should not be used for any other purpose without specific referral to Davey. The use of the system to pump flammable, corrosive and other materials of a hazardous nature is specifically excluded. NOTE: Prior to installation remove the red transport plugs from the suction and/or discharge.

Fitting the Torrium2 directly to the Pump
The Torrium2 is fitted with a rotary coupling. This coupling allows the pump controller to be fitted simply and easily to the pump discharge. The coupling has an oring seal. The controller adaptor nut is able to rotate independent of the Torrium2 and the complete pump, this allows it to be tightened onto the pump easily. For ease of installation a tightening tool is included with Torrium2 to tighten the controller nut to ensure a firm connection to your controller. The ability to rotate the adaptor nut also means that the complete controller, once fitted to the pump, can be rotated a full 360o in the horizontal plane, without causing the coupling to unscrew from the pump outlet.
With Torrium2 you can connect the discharge pipework to the discharge port and/or the vertical priming port. The priming port is able to be used as a discharge port.
Discharge Connections
The Torrrium2 offers the option of using one or both outlet options. Use of the horizontal outlet only allows for either: 1. Easy access to prime the pump and / or the removal of the inbuilt Torrium check valve 2. Fitment of a pressure tank (up to 20 litre capacity) onto the priming port / vertical
discharge port. For optimal draw off, see section on “Extra Draw-off Capacity.” If you use the vertical outlet instead or as well, you need to consider access to the inbuilt check valve in the Torrium. Davey suggest you use a flexible connection and / or union connection to allow for ease of access to the check valve.
Choosing a Site
Choose a site with a firm base and as close to the water source as possible with correct power supply. Make sure your pressure system is always connected to an adequate, reliable source of clean water.

Housing your Davey Pressure System
To protect your pressure system from the weather, make sure the pump house is both water proof, frost free and has adequate ventilation. The pump should be horizontally mounted on a firm base allowing for drainage, to avoid damage to flooring etc., that over time may occur from leaking pipe joints or pump seals. Do not mount the pump vertically.
WARNING: Some insects, such as small ants, find electrical devices attractive for various reasons. If your pump enclosure is susceptible to insect infestation you should implement a suitable pest control plan.
Power Connection
Connect lead to power supply designated on pump label. Do not use long extension leads as they cause substantial voltage drop, poor pump performance and may cause motor overload.
The Davey Torrium2 fitted to this pump has status indicator light mounted on its front panel. These lights will only work when unit is connected to an electrical supply.
The electrical connections and checks must be made by a qualified electrician and comply with applicable local standards.
Auto-retry and Water Return Modes
Should your Torrium2 detect a loss of prime, after stopping the pump, it will wait five minutes before activating Auto-retry and Water Return modes. Auto-retry automatically starts the pump to see if the pump is now primed. It does this after 5 mins, 30 mins, 1 hr, 2 hrs, 8 hrs, 16 hrs and 32 hrs. Water return mode will restart the pump automatically if the Torrium2 detects water flow through it.
Electrical Power Surge Protection
An electrical power surge or spike can travel on the supply lines and cause serious damage to your electrical equipment. The Torrium2 fitted to this pump has a metal oxide varistor (MOV) fitted to help protect it’s circuit. This MOV is a “sacrificial” device, meaning that it effectively is gradually damaged every time it takes a surge. The MOV is not a lightning arrestor and may not protect the Torrium2 if lightning or a very powerful surge hits the pump unit. If the installation is subject to electrical power surges or lightning we strongly recommend the use of suitable additional surge protection devices on ALL electrical equipment. The Surge Protector status window allows you to check the status of the inbuilt MOV in the Torrium2 there is a viewing window at the back of the Torrium2 above the power lead entry / exit grommet. The MOV is the blue disc shaped component. Should it be consumed due to power spikes it will almost always blacken the viewing port. This will indicate a nonwarrantable failure.
NOTE: For protection, the Davey pump motors are fitted with an automatic reset thermal overload, constant tripping of this overload indicates a problem e.g. low voltage at pump, excessive temperature (above 50°C) in pump enclosure.

Pipe Connections
For best performance use P.V.C. or polythene pipes at least the same diameter as the pump’s inlet and delivery outlet openings. Larger diameter pipe may be used to minimise resistance to flow when pumping longer distances.
Do not use pipe thread sealing compounds on any part of this pump. ONLY use Teflon sealing tape. DO NOT USE THREAD SEALING COMPOUNDS, HEMP OR PIPE DOPE!
Use unions at pipe connections to enable easy removal and servicing. Use sufficient tape to ensure airtight seal and hand tighten only. To prevent strain on pump threads always support heavy inlet and outlet pipes. If there is a likelihood the water supply may contain solid particles such as pieces of plant or vegetable matter, a filter should be installed before the pump to avoid blocking of water ways. Lay suction pipe at a constant gradient to avoid air pockets which may reduce pump efficiency.
NOTE: Suction leaks are the largest cause of poor pump performance and are difficult to detect. Ensure all connections are completely sealed using thread tape only.
Flexible pipe should be considered to allow for movement between building, pump and/or water supply. Braided hose, reinforced hose or polythene pipe are suitable.
Water Hammer
In applications where fast-acting valves are present, water hammer may be a concern. The installation of a pressure vessel will assist in reducing water hammer. This will reduce the likelihood of damage to infrastructure. Pressure tanks are sold separately.
Extra Draw-off Capacity
The Torrium2 controller has an in-built accumulator which will accommodate small leaks. In some applications it may be appropriate to install additional accumulator (Supercell pressure tank) capacity. These applications includes: · Long suction lines (see Suction Lines / Lift) · Low flow appliances connected to the pump, such as evaporative air conditioners, slow
filling toilet cisterns, etc. Any additional accumulators can be installed downstream of the controller (ie. between the controller and the first outlet). Where extra draw-off capacity is utilised the additional pressure tank should have a precharge of 70% of the maximum system (shut-off) pressure.
Evaporative coolers, RO filters and extra draw-off capacity
Where a Torrium2 equipped pump is required to supply water to an evaporative cooler, reverse osmosis (R.O.) filter or similar low flow device, the Torrium2 will detect the limited demand. This will result in the Torrium2 adapting to the slow demand. The pump start pressure will be allowed to drop to a lower cut in pressure each time low flows are detected. To provide the maximum draw-off from the additional pressure tank, the tank’s pre-charge
6

should be set at 45% of the pump shut-off pressure.
If normal flow is required from your system, Torrium2 will initiate instant start. Fit the Supercell pressure tank downstream of the controller.
Where to use Check Valves and Foot Valves
The Torrium2 controller has an inbuilt non-return (check) valve fitted. In flooded suction installations there is no need to have a suction non-return valve.
In suction lift installations a footvalve will normally be required for the pump to retain prime.
In some suction lift installations there may be good reason to modify the inbuilt check valve to ensure that the discharge pressure is also applied to the suction line and footvalve. This could be where the suction line was very long or where there was concern regarding a leaking footvalve. This may not always be applicable and it is acceptable to retain the inbuilt check valve in the Torrium2 on suction lifts with good suction plumbing.
Should the inbuilt check valve be required to be modified though, an additional accumulator should be fitted to the discharge pipework, to ensure the pump is not cycled on shut down. The size of this accumulator will depend on the size, length and type of pipe used on the suction.
To modify the check valve for suction lift conditions, follow these simple steps:
Torrium2 Check Valve Removal

1. Remove Torrium2 cap and turn over cap. Lugs on cap will engage check valve to unscrew

2. Roll off o-ring
3. Re-install check valve

4. Tighten check valve using inverted priming cap and replace priming cap

Installations with flooded suction require a gate or isolating valve so water supply can be turned off for pump removal and servicing. After half an hour of constant running, Torrium2 will turn off the pump briefly. This momentary pause is completely normal and is the controller confirming that there’s still water demand.
Abrasive Materials The pumping of abrasive materials will cause damage to the pressure system which will then not be covered by the guarantee.

For Automatic Pressure Pumps Installed with a Mains Pressure Hot Water System
To protect your system from damage caused by back pressure from hot water systems. You should always have installed on the hot water inlet an approved non-return valve.
NOTE: Always ensure hot water systems are installed in compliance with manufacturers recommendations and in accordance with all local regulations.
Connection of Mains Scheme or Town Water Supply to either Suction or Discharge of Pumps & Pressure Systems
Most Water Supply Authorities have strict regulations regarding direct connection of pumps to mains water supplies. In most cases an isolating tank is required between mains supply and pump. Davey also recommend this method. Directly applied mains pressure can exceed pump operating pressure and damage pump.
Davey Water Products Pty Ltd can not accept responsibility for loss or damage resulting from incorrect or unauthorised installations.

NOTE: The Torrium2 controller is adaptive. If your pump draws air or is subject to blockage, the Torrium2 adapts to its new maximum pressure. This may result in your system pressure not dropping below the new cut-in pressure and your pump not starting. This is more likely to occur when boosting mains pressure. Should this occur, re-prime your pump unit. Should this not prove successful, it is likely you have a blockage in the pump. You should contact your Davey dealer for assistance. NOTE: a) For protection, the Davey® pump motor is fitted with an automatic “over
temperature” cut-out. Constant tripping of this overload device indicates a problem e.g. low voltage at pump, excessive ambient temperature (above 50°C) in pump enclosure. b) The Torrium2 control device may have to be reset after rectifying any of the above operating troubles. This is done by pushing in the “prime” button and releasing it after 2 seconds, or switching the power supply off then on. Care should also be taken when servicing or disassembling pump to avoid possible injury from pressurised water. Unplug pump, relieve pressure by opening a tap on the discharge side of the pump and allow any hot water in the pump to cool before attempting to dismantle.
During servicing, use only approved, non-petrochemical based oring and gasket lubrication. If unsure, consult your Davey Dealer for advice.
WARNING: Do not use hydrocarbon based or hydrocarbon propelled sprays around the electrical components of this pump.
In accordance with AS/NZS 60335.2.41 we are obliged to inform you that this pump is not to be used by children or infirm persons and must not be used as a toy by children.
